it makes sense, it's a direct reflection of a handplant that was being done on vert in those days. the step off street plant was a cheater way of looking like you are doing a real handplant. having to step off and thrust up is what made it not skateboarding for me.

for me, with the yo-yo plant, it's the swing i can't get. i just grunt real hard and maybe get sideways for a split second.

i am going to watch your clip some more, work on it and see what i can come up with. hopefully, i can wrangle it in. that good buddies and real deal wooly mammoths have always been out of reach for me.

maybe it's time to resurrect the attempts again.

it would be radical to see this trick make a modern come back in street skating.

now if you can just get eric koston or rick howard to start doing them...
thanks.
